Photographs 1901.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122410971

The collection includes one photograph album containing 43 photographs. Dating from 1901, the photographs document turn-of-the-Century Philadelphia architecture and public spaces, as well as, significant buildings on the University of Pennsylvania's campus. The album includes a photograph of a distant view of President Roosevelt crossing Franklin Field between halves in Army-Navy football game. The album creator affixed the 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" photographs to the album page by their left sides. Additional loose photographs, 1901, feature Franz and Hannah Exner with their children Frederick, Frank M. and Theodore L. One glass plate negative is entitled "experiment, c. 1901." The image seems to be an instrument, possibly used by Exner in his chemistry experiments.
